It's like waiting for my wedding night. The anticipation is killing me!!!!!!!
 
Anyone else using Firefox? They came out with a new browser called Firefox Quantum. The interface looks so good & it does seems faster than their older browser.
 
An inter-state Super bowl matchup between Pittsburgh and Philadelphia is looking pretty realistic at this point.
 
Gumdrops!
 
Imagine there's a heaven... it's easy if you try... No more warm noses, no suppression too. Imagine if the moisture met up with cold air too, oooh, oooh, ooooh.....
You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one...

Very unfortunate news as AC/DC is one of my all time favorite bands. I was fortunate enough to see them live when they came to Nashville in 2009 for thier black ice tour. It was the only concert I’ve ever had to put ear plugs in for. After two songs I was afraid I was going to damage my hearing so I asked a security gauard for ear plugs!

Probably my favorite band of all time! Like the old Bon Scott days as well as the Brian Johnson era. Saw them last in Atlanta, in 05 or 07?? This sucks on top of Brian being ousted from the band, don't like the Axl Rose incarnation. Love G n R, not Axl/ DC! :(
 
Being a creature of habit, I looked at the models a week ago and it was supposed to be a bit cool today. So, I ordered a couple hundred bales of pine straw to mulch the yard. As per the last 10 years, really, it was hot. Done this chore between Christmas and New Year's, before Thanksgiving, after Thanksgiving, and for 10 years, it has always, always, always been warmer to hotter than the 5 day models suggested for pine straw day. Anyway, a bit sunburnt, and dehydrated, but the yard is done. But that's not the point. If anyone wants warm this winter, just engage me to assist in scheduling the mulching your yard ... :confused: Works every time ... o_O
 
I accidentally came across this song called, "Southern Weather" back when I found this forum last year. It's an alternative punk rock genre. Not really my type of music, but I thought I'd point it out since it's called "Southern Weather" lol.
 
There might be 100 points scored in tonights game since neither team can come within 30 feet of the receiver without getting an interference call. :(
 
Does anybody here besides that Webber dude really get Anthony Masiello's twitter posts?

Does anyone else who follows meteorologists on twitter get tired of the political posts? It seems like JB and DT are the biggest culprits. Just stick to the weather or make different twitter accounts.

I'd say that political posts on all sides on just about all boards are 90% hypocritical/just follow whichever party line...so predictable and also very divisive. I really wish a certain other board's political forum never existed as I think it caused major damage throughout all of its forums since the same folks post in weather forums, too. The divisiveness and strong tendency towards cliques there has probably ruined it forever from my perspective.
 
Been quiet for a while just reading and contemplating our Winter. But, this is a Banter thread and I contend that a lot of people posting in our other threads... November, Winter, etc., constantly Banter. They say the same negative and/or repetitive things time and time again and we have to read through it to get to the meaningful, thoughtful, knowledgeable stuff. I suggest looking at what you are about to post and see if it adds anything to the discussion or is it just Banter. OK, just a thought from a wise old man. Maybe just old.

I think it goes both ways. Some are eternally negative like Mack (but I think he's just playing around for comedy) while others are eternally positive (JB-like). While I appreciate the idea of being positive over negative and it is good to be hopeful, I actually prefer the swing folks in the middle ground for serious wx posts as that maximizes credibility in regard to objectivity. I strive to be that way.

IMHO, you are, Larry!
 
cliques? i got kicked out of one weather forum that no longer exists for daring to point out that arguing the details of one model run for over 2 weeks out is a waste of time and effort........and indeed some do post "torch" as often as they can, just to get somebody to respond......to me weather is important and not something to be played with just to start arguments..
 
Being one whose profession entails argument (in a civil manner), I know when it's best just to sit down and ask no questions ... yet, something inside of this Curmudgeon wants to argue with this, but will refrain ...

Looking at the surface, unless you are in Texas or out that way, or Florida, it isn't that bad at all.
